White Cubicle is beyond honoured to present an exhibition by STH (STRAIGHT TO HELL) The Manhattan Review of Unnatural Acts.

Conceived and founded by cult writer Boyd McDonald in the early 1970s, STH quickly gained a large following and underground notoriety due to a combination of graphic sexual content, radical politics and stinging wit. The unique concept of Straight To Hell remains unchanged until today: readers are invited to send to the magazine their accounts of true sexual experiences. Over the decades Straight To Hell has become an infamously comprehensive and uncensored library of homosexual practice and identity, resulting in a uniquely democratic and powerful collection of sexual, bizarre, funny, and raunchy stories documenting the real sex lives of a wide range of real men. For the exhibition at White Cubicle, STH Presents an Installation by Jan Wandrag. Wandrag will use specially created wallpaper as a backdrop on which to present a "brief" bibliography of Straight to Hell. The exhibition will create a space for the enjoyment of the reader-written sex stories featured in STH.
